About 10 years ago, Adam Weiner was onstage in a shitty NASCAR bar in Illinois, playing two sets of piano-driven rock & soul for about 30 onlookers. Weiner, who’s Jewish and fronts the band Low Cut Connie, was wearing a Star of David around his neck as he sang and banged on the keys, and the pendant caught the attention of a group of guys, standing arms folded, near the back of the room.
“My guitar player Will Donnelly, who was brand new in the band and also a Jew, goes to get a drink.

Origins is a recurring series that gives artists a space to break down everything that went into their latest release. Today, Low Cut Connie runs through his latest single, “Sleaze Me On.”
Philadelphia rocker Low Cut Connie has released “Sleaze Me On,” the latest single from his upcoming album, Art Dealers. Taking a gender-bending perspective and telling the story of a less-than-ideal love, “Sleaze Me On” is yet another fusion of classic rock ‘n’ roll stylings and contemporary indie from Adam Weiner’s piano-rock project.
After an electric piano and a country-rock guitar introduce the song, a groovy rhythm section and Weiner’s attitude-laden vocals ramp up the tune’s swagger to levels previously unreached by man. It’s no wonder, then, that Weiner cites artists like Prince and The Rolling Stones as primary influences.
“I adore Prince. He’s my favorite songwriter,” he says of the former. “He was...

Low Cut Connie is back. “Are You Gonna Run?” is one of frontman Adam Weiner’s first new song in years, following his 2020 album Private Lives.
“Why won’t you tell how it’s gonna go. Tell me now. Why won’t you say what I already know?” sings Weiner on the make-it or break-it love song. “Will you move away when I start getting old? Are you gonna run? Are you gonna run from me baby?”

There’s been a well-deserved resurgence in Warren Zevon’s music of late, 20 years after the songwriter’s death. Billy Joel raved about his work to the L.A. Times in a recent interview, Shooter Jennings devoted two full concerts to playing only Zevon songs, and, in February, Zevon himself was nominated for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2023.

It’s a New York day in the life of Jesse Malin in the songwriter’s new video for “Downliner (Afterglow Version).” Malin makes his bed, brushes his teeth, goes grocery shopping, folds his rock & roll T-shirts, and even wraps a gift as the melancholy ballad plays behind him. Captivating stuff, right? While on the surface, the actions depicted in the clip, directed by Dave Stekert, seem trite, they work to center one’s daily existence in mindfulness. It’s all very Buddhist.

The box was about two feet high and made out of wood, a rudimentary but useful tool to allow Jerry Blavat to get an unencumbered view of his dancers at bars and clubs that didn’t have a proper stage. In his later years, Blavat, a diminutive but supremely influential DJ, placed the box in the middle of the dance floor, hopped upon it like a king on his throne, and began what to some might be considered a shtick, but to those in Philadelphia was the soundtrack of their...

Bobby Rydell, one of the first music idols to spur teen fandom in the Fifties and Sixties, has died at age 79. His death was caused by complications from pneumonia, a rep for the artist confirmed in a statement.
“He had the best pipes,” his good friend and radio legend Jerry Blavat told the Inquirer. “He could do Sinatra, he could do anything… He could do comedy. He played the drums. He was a great mimic… He could have been as big as Bobby Darin, but he didn’t want to leave Philadelphia.

Low Cut Connie’s Adam Weiner interviews Hunter Biden on this week’s episode of Tough Cookies, the singer’s bi-weekly livestream series.
Premiering Saturday, May 29th, the episode features the son of President Joe Biden discussing his new memoir Beautiful Things — which tackles Hunter’s struggles with drug addiction — as well as his recovery and his attempts to destigmatize addiction.
“There hasn’t really been a proper interview with Hunter Biden with no agenda and I thought I’d be the one to do it,” Weiner said in a statement.

Low Cut Connie have released a new music video for “Charyse,” the latest single from the band’s 2020 double album, Private Lives.
The video, directed by Skylar Watkins, boasts a moody, late-night feel, but one that still seems filled with possibility and mystery. The clip jumps between footage of Low Cut Connie frontman Adam Weiner performing the ramshackle rocker, and sequences in which three models (Helen Logan, Phasayi Thomas, and Bria Bryant) light up the night.

Low Cut Connie have released a new video for “Wild Ride,” a track off their latest album, Private Lives.
The clip was directed by Sara Fox and pairs the slow-burning song with a sequence of equally smoldering and mysterious visuals. Throughout the clip, Low Cut Connie frontman Adam Weiner roams the streets of New York City while an unnamed woman waits at an empty bar, stares through stained glass at a subway stop, and then, at the end of the clip, lets out an anguished scream in the middle of a street.

It must be painful for Low Cut Connie mastermind Adam Weiner to keep himself from going overboard. The group’s sixth and latest album, Private Lives, is a double album, featuring 17 songs that Weiner recorded with nearly 40 of his closest friends. They indulge gospel-choir sing-alongs, channel classic-sounding soul horn arrangements, and generally cut loose and lose themselves in Weiner’s grooves. This kitchen sink inclusivity is what made Low Cut Connie a live draw and made fans out of Elton John, President Obama (who included the Philadelphia-based band on a...

Low Cut Connie have teased yet another promising glimpse from the band’s forthcoming double album Private Lives. Led by Adam Weiner’s soulful piano, the Philadelphia collective’s latest, “Help Me,” is a gospel-garage rock declaration with hints of Springsteen.
“I’m moving in the wrong direction,” Weiner sings in the song’s opening verse, “I got bad things on my mind.”
“That’s me shooting straight from the hip,” Weiner says of the song. “I just sorta opened up my brain for a quick second and spit this out.

Despite the beaches and boardwalk, it wasn’t a rosy picture. The advent of casinos to the decaying seaside resort town in the late ’70s and early ’80s failed to deliver on the promise of long-term prosperity, and as gambling became legalized across the country, Atlantic City crapped out.
